To create a profitable and competitive business an important factor today is a well-functioning logistics. Through effective internal material flows effective logistics can be achieved. Unnecessary handling and movement of materials is a waste which affects the internal material flow. These wastes should be identified and eliminated as much as possible to improve the internal materials handling and through that achieve a more efficient business. At Fagerhults Belysning AB, where professional lighting systems are developed, manufactured and marketed, a new inventory has been built and changes in the assembly has been made during the past year.

In Eskilstuna and Sweden in general the level of reuse of surplus material containing soils and rocks from excavation is low. In this report the potential for increasing the reuse of excavated material in Eskilstuna by using a web-based earth information database has been examined. The purpose of a web-based earth information database is to connect those who have surplus material with those who need material for a fast and simple transaction. The intention is to give Eskilstuna a more environmentally and economically efficient handling of surplus material by increasing the level of reuse and thereby reducing the amount of surplus material that is wasted and emissions given off to the atmosphere during transportation. The potential has been examined in two different ways, by tracing information about a number of projects to see if excavated material driven to the dump could have been used in another project and by interviewing eight of the work leaders active in Eskilstuna.

Syftet med studien är att erhålla ökad kunskap om funktionsnedsattas stöd för lärande i arbetet. Strukturerade intervjuer med öppna frågor genomfördes med personer med cerebral pares, kongenital myopati och ryggmärgsbråck, tre av dessa på respektive arbetsplats samt två i hemmiljö. Materialet bearbetades sedan utifrån en hermeneutisk forskningstradition i två kvalitativt skilda kategorier. Ansatsen belyser allmän verksamhetsteori och ett sociokulturellt perspektiv på lärande via talspråk och praktisk handling. De funktionsnedsattas uppfattning av fenomenet visar att lärande sker via talspråk och praktisk handling.

Syftet med vårt examensarbete var att undersöka om vi med hjälp av handdockan kunde stärka femåringars begreppsbildning i förståelse och handling när det gäller begreppen grupptillhörighet och empati. Vi utförde barnintervjuer och sociogram i början av vår umdersökning, för att se var barnen stod i sin förståelse av grupptillhörighet och empati och vilka kontakter de tog. Vi utförde intervjuer med förskollärarna med samma frågor som barnens, för att se om deras värderingar visade sig i barnens svar. Vi tror inte att barnens svar är en följd av förskollärarnas tankar om ämnet. Vi anser att det är våra aktivitetstillfällen som stärkt barnen i förståelse och handling när det gäller begreppen.

Att kommunicera och utifrån det ta initiativ och utföra en handling är för många barn svårt.  Tillkommer det dessutom en funktionsnedsättning försvårar det oftast situationen. Förmågan till samspel, initiativ och handling kan då behöva medvetandesgöras med hjälp av olika medel.Syftet med detta examensarbete är att beskriva FMT-metoden, samt att nå en djupare kunskap kring ämnet autism. I mitt arbete har jag valt att med FMT-metoden (Funktionsinriktad musikterapi) förmedla och beskriva hur man kan nå samverkan med barn med autism och autismliknande drag.Litteraturstudie har genomförts i ämnena musikterapi, FMT-metoden, autism och autismliknande drag samt utvecklingsstörning. En sammanfattning har gjorts av dokumenterad information, i form av videoinspelningar och fallbeskrivningar av två barn som jag följt under utbildningens gång.I min slutsats kom jag fram till att jag observerat en stor utveckling hos barnen vad gäller förmågan till samverkan, initiativtagande och utförandet av en egen bestämd handling med FMT-metoden som medel..

Under den diffusa delen av ett projekt i interaktionsdeign fattas beslut om vad som ska skapas. För att strukturera denna process rekommenderar Arvola (2013) ett ramverk för beskrivning av medierad handling. Utöver ett antal informella intervjuer med personer som använt ramverket har inga undersökningar genomförts vars resultat beskriver hur ramverket används i praktiken. Studier som visar hur ramverket bör användas för att ett användbart resultat ska genereras har inte heller gjorts, förrän nu. Genom att under två workshops studera interaktionsdesigners generera designkoncept med stöd av ramverket för medierad handling, har fyra kännetecknande aspekter av hur ett bra designkoncept kan skapas med stöd av ramverket identifierats.

AimThe aim of this study was to investigate and describe qualified nurses? worries related to handling chemotherapeutic drugs, further is the aim to explore if the nurses comply with the guidelines at a haematological ward. MethodThe cross-sectional study uses a descriptive design and a quantitative approach to analyze nurses? worries at a haematological ward. The data has been collected through questionnaires which were handed out to 42 nurses at the haematological ward. The questionnaires included 17 questions that were designed by the authors of this study, and 32 nurses returned the questionnaire. ResultsThe majority of the nurses declared that they handle chemotherapeutic drugs once or more a week. The results of the study show that the nurses´ comply with the available guidelines are relatively good.

In today?s ever-evolving society the use of cash is replaced by digital services in the banking sector. Some local banks restrict manual cash handling while others remove it completely. This essay examines how management accounting is affected by restricted cash handling. The theory clarifies that management accounting strategies create guidelines and provides specific framework for employees and managers in the organization.

The purpose with this work was to investigate some alternatives for an effective handling with grain, to find the most economic alternative. It is not common that moisture content is below 14% when harvesting grain in Sweden. To store the grain safe it has to be preserved in some way. I have described some of the most common systems for preserving grain in this paper. I have used the systems as a basis when I made calculations in handling the grain for a company. I have chosen a company placed in south of Sweden. The productions are crop farming and pork.

Atlas Copco Tools is a world leading company in tool manufacturing. The productionin Tierp works hard to improve their assembly to maintain its position. This thesis isa part of their improvement efforts to be a more Lean production.The main focus for this thesis was to identify the material flow in the kanban system,which used to supply the assembly groups, focusing on the material flow to assemblygroup 9 and the assembly group 3. Group 3's material flow within the kanban systemwas perceived to perform better than the group 9. The handling of kanban materialand their working methods in the two groups was identify those differences whichaffected the kanban system.As an alternative material supply a study were done in kiting.

When building large buildings, such as compartment buildings, there is a number of deliveries arriving on the construction site daily. In order to receive these deliveries without disturbing the rest of the work going on JM often books a fixed unloading time. When doing that they can be prepared when the delivery arrives. Making sure there is a suitable unloading area, someone to meet the delivery and when needed proper machines, such as a tractor or a crane, to help unload bigger deliveries. The person receiving the delivery is supposed to make an acceptance control where they check the delivered goods making sure nothing has been damaged in transport and that they have received what they were supposed to receive.

The report also includes practical instructions to how the environment and handling of cats in clinics can be improved..

This work studied the information flow and information handling among different parties. The study focused on how educational materials on national tests from The Swedish National Agency for Education is managed by school principals and teachers and how the information is passed on to students. The data material was based on observations and interviews at two different high schools. Six teachers and their classes and principals participated in the study. The Agency was also interviewed.

Return handling is often regarded as a slow and complex process. Studies have shown that it is not unusual for a return to cost up to nine times as much as a standard outbound delivery. An efficient return handling process is therefore essential to all competitive companies dealing with logistics. This report investigates, analyzes and gives suggestions on development with the purpose to improve the return handling process at LensLogistics AB in Kista, north of Stockholm, Sweden. The study has been conducted from a deliberately practical point of view in order to suggest improvement suggestions possible to implement and thereby change the entire return handling process.
